Fly Like Don Henley

lyrics

In keeping faith with my mistakes,
I’d bet you’d manufacture sympathy
Within the barracks of my heart.
So, you can squeeze me ‘til i’m barren,
And I’m a swollen, screaming mess,
As you erase my every barter
For a place to rest my aching head.

I know that simple's just a word
That aches for your attention.

One day strangers, and the next, we’re best of friends
As you siphon my naivete
And pour it all into your dirty hands.
Maybe the medicine that sorts you out
Had sorted you right out,
Of being safe with someone
Closer to your heart than to your bed.

Four A.M to four A.M,
Making awful first impressions of your friends
Watching you squabble over wallpaper and cotton blends.
From Wayne to Strafford, off you went,
With your left and leaving sentiments,
On the platform where I know I touched you last,
Oh, how it goes.

Do you still wear it?
Or does it sit, collecting dust upon a shelf?
A promise you commanded had frayed from end to end.
The dust was settling.

One day strangers, and the next, we’re best of friends
As you siphon my naivete
And pour it all into your dirty hands.
Maybe the medicine that sorts you out
Had sorted you right out,
Of being safe with someone
Closer to your heart than to your bed.

Those train rides home to contemplate,
Which side you took beneath the grates.
The scale with balanced love and your disdain,
You left to operate alone.
In truth, I must admit,
I held on to your legs and tried to swim
Against the rapids in your head,
You let them whisk me away,
Down the river and straight back home.
Down the river and straight back home.
